Carl Loney
Chief of Police/Director of Security
Wittenberg University
Springfield, Ohio
Notable Achievements:
- Redesigned the department fleet and purchased vehicles from the Ohio Department of Administrative Services State and Federal Surplus Section for an average of $5,000 per vehicle
- Expanded the department’s patrol boundaries to adjacent areas of the campus, resulting in reduced criminal activity and leading to the solving of more crimes
- Hosted active shooter training for nearly 60 members of local law enforcement and fire agencies, with one session taking place in Wittenberg’s own residence hall. Training was put to the test when five suspects, one with a gun, entered the residence hall — Wittenberg police arrived in seconds and the local police arrived in minutes.
- Partnered with the city chief so campus now has access to 800 MHz radio system without the extraordinary expense; Wittenberg just had to purchase the radios
- Deployed a text message emergency notification system where more than 40 percent of faculty and 30 percent of students have registered for the service
- Negotiated a favorable labor union contract without the help of an attorney and developed a strong working relationship with the union, resulting in the union presenting Loney with an award acknowledging his dedication, exemplary service and professional guidance
